Sentence Openers
Hi, I'm Mary Duffy, Co-author of Sentence Openers. Not to brag but to arouse your curiosity: this book will be an eye opener for you!
Discover how you'll gain respect, fame, and fortune, with our fantastic e-book! And if you are a student, see how you'll get all 'A's in your essays and term papers.
Download Sentence Openers and you'll see that this humble book will change not only the quality of your writing, but also the quality of your professional life.
Put into action our structures and techniques and you won't go gack to your old habits of writing straight prose --subject, verb, object-- that bores readers to tears.
No more S-V-O. No More S-V-O.
To your right you have an example of powerful writing by conservative writer Patrick J. Buchanan. Note how Buchanan expresses his controversial themes without using to the S-V-O pattern.
If you are in the habit of writing sentences that begin with articles, nouns, or pronouns, then your prose will sound like:
John hit the ball. Danny the catcher caught the ball. The crowd roared. Then we evened the score. It was late into ...
How boring! Driven to tedium and distraction, readers will abandon you and run for the exit.
What do you usually find in Bookstores to Help You write better opening sentences?
Very little! You will find the same old tools:
Old grammar books, exhausted writing guides, unimaginative workshops paperbacks, and faded style books that offer the same rehashed examples.
In many Writing Centers and Writing guides the emphasis is on essay thematic structure. They teach you, for example, how to structure an essay, but they don't teach you how to open your essay; how to open your sentences.
So, you're stuck!
Of little use will be to you that you become an expert writing topic sentences, their development, transitions, restatements, and writing conclusions. Yet, not a single lesson about opening sentences in a proper and exciting manner.
Try our way: write a sentence that you'll love and that you'll be proud of it. If you are a student try writing papers that are ready for publication.
Now, let me tell you what you'll find in our e-book:
-
An introduction that explains how you are judged by your writing.
You'll see right away why most people write the S-V-O pattern, and why old habits are hard to change.
After you get an eyeful, you'll be craving for more powerful patterns. We will give them to you. We'll deliver them to you. -
How verbal openers make your prose athletic.
When you read Maureen Dowd, Sigmund Freud, Betty Friedan, or an ancient writer such as Plato, you never get bored. Why is that? Why is their prose always as fresh as the morning dew? Keep reading and you'll see.
If you are a college student, you'll get 'A's in all your essays and term papers from now on.
If you write fiction you'll become a master writer.
If you are a business person you'll impress everyone and will close many sales.
If English is your second language, you'll express yourself in English just like native English speakers; in some cases even better. Your American English will be just that: your American English at its best! -
How to use subordinating conjunctions as openers.
If you follow our instructions, in no time you'll become a master employer of these little words. -
Using similes to startle your reader.
Like a boxer lashing and snapping jabs, you'll smack readers to pay attention to your writing. -
Directing traffic with prepositional phrases.
With these short sturdy little words you'll hook your readers, luring them to push on and keep on reading. -
Powerful openers with Absolute phrases.
Of all the tools a writer owns, Absolute phrases rank at the top. You'll learn to use them in no time.
Although our e-book isn't an English grammar book, whenever needed we explain the grammatical terms we use. Of much value to our readers is the glossary we have included.
With copious writing examples --lots of examples of fine writing-- culled from master writers, our Sentence Openers will show you the basic steps for you to crank out appealing, smart, and intense openers.
Sentence Openers will be sold for $76.00 as a textbook by Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble in a few months. Meanwhile readers will download a copy at the modest price of $18.95. 
Essayists, novelists, columnists, short-story writers, journalists, philosphers, critics, and all word-craftsmen share the secret: Nail the opener! The rest follows.
Whether you write fiction or non-fiction, the elegance, vigor, and effectiveness of your writing resides in your openings. Write fiction. Write a novel. Learn to write essays, for fine essay writing will open many doors for you.
Indeed, learning how to write an essay that hooks and holds the reader is what we teach in our Sentence Openers. Will you find our lessons in the Strunk and White's Elements of Style? No way!
Write a book. Write suspense. Write mysteries and horror -- and any type of fiction! We will give you the model for powerful openers, openers that no one teaches in college or universities.
Elevate your writing skills and dazzle readers, agents, and editors with our awesome sentence openers. 
After you learn the patterns of our Sentence Openers you will see why millions of websites and blogs look and read so weak. It's because they are badly written.
If you have your own website or blog, your sales pitch page, landing page, or squeeze page must be exciting. If your pages are of low quality, Google Adwords, Yahoo, and Microsoft bots will tack on a low Quality Score, making your keywords so expensive that you might well give up.
As an author, as a serious business person, or as an ambitious internet marketer, I am sure you have products of great value to offer, yet doze-prose, flat, and anemic sentences may be sabotaging you.
Though you might be a fiery prose writer, if your sentence openings aren't impressive, the rest will collapse.
Like moths pulled by light, your readers will be pulled by your writing and linger in your pages and buy your services or products! Preening and pimping your site doesn't translate into sales: A driving narrative with strong verbs does. Reward and please your readers with opening similes...and much more!
